That's a gorgeous color red and with your pale skin tone would probably look awesomely gothic with red lipstick. :gj: It looks like you have a shade of red lipstick on in the picture, actually.

It's going to be a pain to keep though. A friend of mine had her hair that color all through senior year of high school. Everyone started calling her stuff like "Skittles" and whatnot. Since then she has lightened it out a bit and it's practically orange now. :O Needless to say, she gets a lot of attention for it. :P

I need to do my hair again. It's so boring now...

It looks good,but I like your natural color better. What matters is are you happy with it??:)

I think its georgeous!!! And dont worry about what other people think!!!! Matter of fact welcome to the red head world of having a good excuse for being mean... Im red headed natually and we can be mean and just say "Its a red headed thing" :rage: :D So next time the cubicle walls are folding in with comments just stand up and tell them to go do something with their own nappy hair and not to worry about yours:P:)

Thanks :) My old color was not actually my natural color. My roots will grow in as a pretty drab gray-brown. My hair before, was actually dyed a few shades browner, than this red. So it basically faded-out to a fox-red color. I am expecting this to fade into a similar color.. actually hoping for it, because while I do like this red, it is not something that I will do again, this drastically! But for the short time that it lasts, until it fades, it is fun.

i thought you looked good before but i like this better

FIRE ENGINE RED one of my friends has her hair dyed like that and i love deep bright vibrant reds like that awesome and eff what people say only reason they talk s*** is cuz they are jealous

Jen your hair is red...not sure if you're aware or not. :)

Its pretty red......

Jen~ I love it!!! :banana: I think it looks awesome and I've never seen your face close before-- you are gorgeous!!!! Old? :P :rofl: What are you? Nuts? :weirdface
You are beautiful and your hair color is very cool and looks terrific with your eyes and lips and skin tone!
My 25 year old son was always doing things with his hair- he thought he was rebelling!!! :rofl: Anyway, now that he has dreads down to the middle of his back, he really can't do much anything else with it!!
I love adventurous people who don't need to follow convention but instead follow the sound of their own drummer. Your drummer drummed red this time and I am so proud of you for listening! You rock girl!!! Keep listening to your drummer- you're doing very well! :D

I just looked at you again and yep--- I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a beautiful color. Are you going to keep up with it so it doesn't end up fading to orange? Not sure if anyone asked but what dye did you use?

Goodness I miss dyeing my hair...

YESSSS! RED HAIR, JEEP WRANGER , SHOTGUN, AND LOVES SNAKES

i love love love love love your hair!!!!!!! it rocks girl... i'd keep it that colour... perhaps adding some dark brown streaks to it...

niiiiiiiice

Thanks! I was thinking of streaking it. Not sure as of yet.. I might either keep it this color, or do a brown wash over it (it is hard to explain.)
Yeah; guns, snakes, and my Jeep are pretty much my life! Outside of family and art and horses :)

I've done that color before... my biggest mistake ever. Tan people and red just dont mix as well as you'd think! LOL

I envy white people, your have gorgeous skin that really compliments that color red. I am jealous!!!!!

i do that red often... nice chunky streaks with the dark brown streaks and it's kick butt!!! :D

whatever you do... give us another pic please!

I have never been brave enough to do such a dramatic color change on my own head, but I like it on yours :)

I applaud your hootzpah.

It looks great!!!
I did mine bright pink a couple years ago I loved it. And I think as a treat I just may do it again. I love to hear all the comments it makes me smile even bigger :)

I think it's pretty. I also have really light skin, and I had my hair red for a while( and blue, and green, and orange, and purple) But yeah, red is really hard to keep up. It fades, but nearly impossible to get completely out. I love having red hair, I just got tired of redying it so much.

I love it. Other peopl might talk, but they are just use to conformity. Why be like everyone else and miserable, when you can be yourself and happy.

I say do want you like.

key to keeping your extreme red longer...

wash it as little as possible and not at all for as many days as you can manage after first getting it done! i'm able to keep that colour... vibrant for over 6 weeks... often closer to 2.5 months!

Red hairs is where its at :cool:

It is the new blonde :nerd:

Rock on with the RED Ginevive! If it makes you happy and feel good about yourself (and if your hubby likes it), thats really all that really matters! :aww:

From one Jen to another, I LOVE IT. Looks great on you. But then, you are very beautiful anyway. You would look great with no hair.

You trying to be one of those gang members with all your "colors" :rofl:
